Adopting the Universal
Adopting the Universal
Our world is the one of constantly increasing entropy, rather than the ancient world of hierarchy or the modern world of progress. The history has collapsed into a constant stream of presence.
The widespread digital information exchange has dramatically enhanced the perception and use of architecture. Now it is a vast reservoir of everything that has ever related to spatial organization. Every information has become available at any time, anywhere.
Localization of architecture neither takes the advantage of contemporary reality, nor contributes to the common good. It is just a rhetorical mask of brutal neoliberal cynicism and paternalism.
The idea of the universal on the other hand embraces this situation while being critical to the omnipresent forces of individualism. Architecture - the core discipline of spatial organization, has always been a collective domain, overlapping the picturesque myth of localism and overarching the historical narrative invented by the modern age.
